Wouldn't have helped much last night, as I had the numbers advantage and more men standing up at any given time. I forewent the Helio Doctrine though, and didn't gang foul them off the pitch in the last couple of turns.

I probably should. However, in my experience, effective fouling usually requires some numbers (especially against av9 types) and when you're already down on players early on (due to stuns, mostly), it seems like a poor moment to step on someone on the offchance you might break their armour.

And yeah PW, I mostly meant the whole sequence of events leading to that pass. The catch wasn't a surprise, the failed dodge leading to the ball being scooped up by your beastman who was in range to do that pass after 2 GFIs after I had failed my single GFI to get out range was the fortunate bit (for you!). It was the only moment where I thought 'I could have scored there'.

Don't always foul Weasel, he gets irrationally attached to things that aren't real (like players in Blood Bowl, or whatever you tell him a little plastic model represents in a board game: "you destroyed my city" - but that's part of the game, I'm supposed to "you destroyedmy city". Of course, if you think a seasons long vendetta sounds like fun, foul away.

A season's only three games, and we only play each team once. Doesn't sound too scary to me :)

Don't forget to put the results of your matches in the spreadsheet or they won't be validated (also there are some other rules about acid soaked bricks that you don't want to know about). Looks like 2-0 to Delusibeta in game but not sure if it should be put on the spreadsheet yet. Was that the proper score? If so it leaves the season pretty open depending on our last game.

Yes, you've read that right: the Scrubs have finally won a victory. Evidently, the soul of a level 2 linesman is sufficient for Nuffle's blessing, since the Scrubs out-bashed, out-passed and out-ran the Popes. First half was a bit of a meatgrinder, and despite receiving the ball, progress was slow. However, I did inflict an injury and a death (with an apoth attempt that went something like this), in exchange of the ref sending a player off and a KO. Oh, and the Popes' ogre managed to intercept a pass, in a display of blatant and outrageous hax.

Second half was more of the same, however with the Popes being unable to injure my players and running low on players, I managed to break through the scrum to deliver the ball to the endzone. Second phase went something like this:
Kickoff
Turn 14: Popes ogre attempts to block, gets skulls for his trouble.
Scrubs run down the pitch.
Turn 15: Popes player picks up the ball and attempts a pass. Ball lands beside him.
Scrubs run down the pitch, mugs the player and scrambles the ball across the line.

Good game, however the Popes got thoroughly nuffled.

Aye, when I posted I just finished and when you posted I was still compiling this report.
